The Tilley and its Creator

About 20 years ago, Alex Tilley, a keen sailor, had lovingly restored a 30 foot long sailboat. Alex Tilley dedicated time and care to ensure his boat was the best she could be. Once completed, Alex Tilley needed a good hat for sailing that matched the quality of his boat. After sometime he couldn't find one that had the qualities that fulfilled his needs for a sailing hat and so decided to make one himself.

Following discussions and advice from a milliner, sailmaker and hat maker, he finally obtained the hat that he wanted.

Alex Tilley was to discover that he had an outstanding hat and that there was a potential market for his product. In January, 1984, he set up a small mail-order company called Alex Tilley and Family's Nautical Gear. It then became Tilley Endurables, Inc. and it hasn't looked back since.

In time, the Tiley hat was not only for sailors, but now loved and respected by people who enjoy the outdoor life!

Excellent Protection From the Elements.

A Hat For all Seasons!

One of the wonderful aspects of the Tilley Hat has to be its amazing sun protection.

The AMC American Cancer Research Center has tested all Tilley cotton duck Hats and certified that they block 98% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation, and provide the highest certification rating of Ultraviolet Protection Rating (UPF) 50 . This is the maximum rating given.

When worn in hot weather the Tilley has a HYDROFILÂ® Anti-Sweat band -this picks up sweat from your forehead and wicks it away, leaving you cool and comfortable.

The hats offer protection in the rain as well. One would imagine that the brims would get floppier when wet, but actually they get stiffer and channel the rain away from your face and neck.

Even the wind has a job to challenge the Tilley Hat thanks to the tuckaway, adjustable, fore 'n' aft Wind Cord. When it's calm, the Wind Cord stays hidden in the crown. When there's a breeze, place the part with the sliding knots behind your head. When it's windy or you're sailing, use the chin part too.

The best Tolley hat was made for the Canadian Armed Forces in natural & in UN blue. It had a simpler shape in the crown and an even brim all around. I wear mine constantly, have for decades.

My pic here shows a once-favourite outdoor hat. Great shape and bought one for son, however this was 2011 and the brims went ragged, with reinforcing poking through..he paid for return post of new one but that was expensive. Is fhe T3 duck model now improved? Mine was lost,outside of the 2 yrs required.

I love my Tilley hat... Airflo (khaki)... I use it to play outside all of the time... soccer, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, hiking - in the sun or rain, it's my favorite. You're not kidding about the need to rinse out some of the sweat!!! It seems to stain easily - oh well... buy one for play and one for the rest of the day :)
